On October 21, we’re joined by Charlie Bailey, candidate for Attorney General for the state of Georgia, for a discussion on how the healthcare laws in our state affect you and your family.

Charlie Bailey is a public servant and prosecutor who is running for
Attorney General to protect Georgia’s families from crime, corruption,
and consumer fraud. Charlie has first-hand experience on the front lines
of fighting violent crime. As a Senior Assistant District Attorney in
the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, Charlie served in the Gang
unit, where he prosecuted some of the toughest cases against some of
Georgia’s most violent criminals. He stood up for victims by taking gang
members off the streets who had committed crimes like murder,
aggravated assault, armed robbery, and drug trafficking.

Before becoming a prosecutor, Charlie worked as an attorney with
former Governor Roy Barnes. He worked with Governor Barnes representing
Georgians who were hurt by the wrongdoing of others, including victims
of consumer fraud and predatory lending.

Charlie will take his experience fighting for regular people, and
against crime, corruption, and consumer fraud, to the Attorney General’s
office. He will be a prosecutor – not an insider politician – who will
put the safety of Georgians first. He has the experience to work with
local police and prosecutors to keep our neighborhoods safe, to crack
down on companies that exploit and defraud Georgians, and to hold
corrupt politicians accountable.

Charlie is an eighth generation Georgian who grew up on his family’s
cattle farm in Harris County in West Georgia. He went to college at the
University of Georgia. He was inspired to go to law school by Randolph
W. Thrower, his great-uncle, who taught him about integrity and public
service, and how a good lawyer can use the law to help regular people.
He went on to attend the University of Georgia’s law school, where he
was elected by his peers to serve as president of the student body.
